Graduate Student Conference: In Between

The In Between conference wishes to explore literature, cultures, space, gender and theory in between fixed territory and discourse in the context of East Asia.The conference will bring together our keynote speaker, Dr Andrew Jones, and approximately twelve graduate students to present innovative research aspects of East Asian literary and cultural studies, from pre-modern to contemporary, in any humanistic discipline.
